Joshua and Zara have been attending Rainbow International School here in Kampala ever since they were ready for school. However, for various reasons we feel it is time to move them on from there and put them in a Christian school that also offers a high quality education. Acacia International School came on our radar after a "chance" meeting with a friend who is going to be the Principal of the High School. This started the thought process and after some lengthy conversations and also a meeting with the school Principal Joshua and Zara will start there in August 2014. Joshua will start Senior School and Zara will go into Grade 4 which would be Primary 6 in Scotland. It is all a bit confusing.
The school is small by comparison to Rainbow which is definitely a benefit and the Christian side of things is also a huge motivator for the move. The High School is still under construction but will be finished in time for the term in August. The answer to prayer from our side is that Joshua and Zara are excited about the move and can`t wait to go. If they had their way they would be starting tomorrow :) This is a big change as in the past they would never have considered a move. If you are interested you can check out the website at http://www.acacia.co.ug/ where you can see photos of the school.
We would value your prayers as we embark on this step of faith. We pray that Joshua and Zara would transition well and make new friends. We look forward to what God is going to do in them as they increase in their knowledge both academically and spiritually.
